A History of Islamic Philosophy

DESCRIPTION

xxiv, 394 pp. notes, bibl., index. HARD BACK Binding in dustwrappers. Copy in MINT condition. New. This book presents the most detailed historical survey to date discussing Islamic philosophy and theology from the seventeenth century to the present. The author discusses the legalism, rationalism, and mysticism of Islamic thought and its impact upon the cultural aspects of Muslim life. He examines the rise of nineteenth-century Pan-Islamism which attempts to unite the politically disunited Islam into a spiritual unity, and he follows that distinct line of development which gave it the unity of form characteristic of all the great intellectual movements in history.
